The Facts:
HC Scott Linehan hopes Leonard is adept at picking up the Rams' offense. Because the quicker the Rutgers RB knows what he's doing, the more he'll be on the field early in the 2007 season. "It's kind of up to his progress," Linehan said Saturday.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Once the regular season starts, Linehan envisions this kind of workload for Leonard each Sunday: A few snaps at fullback as a lead blocker for Steven Jackson; a few snaps at running back, spelling Jackson; a few snaps as a third-down back; and perhaps a play or two in short yardage. ... "Before it's all said and done, he's in the game for 15-20 snaps," Linehan said before stressing that Jackson will remain the workhorse.
